Digiface AVB gains macOS support
RME has decided to publicly release Mac support for its Digiface AVB
The Digiface AVB is a portable USB3 audio interface that connects computers and DAWs to AVB. It has been compatible with Windows since launch, and has now added macOS support for Apple users.
As Mac computers support AVB natively via macOS, RME deemed it not necessary to need an external third-party solution as an AVB interface. However, the manufacturer has now ported the RME AVB Controller to macOS, updated the family-class USB driver to include network support and updated the Digiface AVB firmware for Mac operation. Following tests by several professional AVB companies and users, RME has decided to publicly release Mac support for its Digiface AVB.
The Digiface AVB doesn’t make use of Mac’s native AVB implementation functionality. Instead, it uses RME’s own, providing access to AVB as a 128-channel USB3 audio interface, including TotalMix FX support.
System requirements include the latest driver release, 3.15 or up, including TotalMix FX and full support for the Digiface AVB, firmware version 203 or higher, RME's AVB controller to run and access the Digiface AVB, and Mac OS X 10.11 or above.
RME has also released new firmware for its ADI-2 Pro series to FPGA version 193 and DSP version 94.
